Three Towers Game

Of course, I offended those who bullied my sister and was wrongfully accused.

Those who love drama said I was a stalker following little girls.

This kind and fragile brother and sister duo faced discrimination and slander, perfectly fitting the recruitment criteria of Aquarius.

They were both marked with Aquarius’s Resonant Belonging.

From then on, they transformed from good to evil, becoming the paranormal tales of Jicheng.

The sister naturally had the ability to weaken perception, allowing the brother’s shadow to track targets unnoticed.

The brother used his shadow to drag people into a special space.

Their teamwork would leave even those much stronger than them caught off guard.

Aquarius showed a mischievous smile:

"You have helpers, and I have helpers too. In this city of Jicheng, with so much ebb and flow of good and evil, I’ve got quite a few helpers!"

But just as Aquarius tried to produce a more compelling, more sinister mockery, Scorpio sighed helplessly:

"Such bad kids, dabbling in summoning flow, this save file is corrupted."

Read file.

In the next instant, Aquarius’s expression froze, her smile turned rigid.

It was as if time had reversed. Soon, Wen Xishu appeared, and the surrounding scene started to rewind.

When that shadow appeared again...

Scorpio originally intended to push Wen Xishu away, but Wen Xishu jumped away himself!

Scorpio was momentarily stunned, but quickly reacted, immediately pulling out a Spanish Ham Knife to pin down a shadow.

The shadow emitted a wail.

Wen Xishu also safely avoided the shadow as Aquarius shouted:

"You cheat! You’re cheating!"

Wen Xishu, still shaken, said:

"What the heck, how did I experience time reversal twice?"

Scorpio also frowned slightly:

"So dear brother, you took advantage from Pisces. You should’ve said so earlier; wasting save files is shameful. My save slots are very precious."

Wen Xishu also didn’t expect Scorpio to actually bring him back.

As it turned out, not long ago, Wen Xishu was dragged into the shadow world.

But as soon as Scorpio and Aquarius arrived, Wen Xishu was already prepared with the paper clip that Pisces had given him, intending to use it to evade damage.

So when the shadow dragged him into the alien space, Wen Xishu used the paper clip to return to a few seconds earlier.

At the same time...

Scorpio also initiated a read file, loading a save from a few seconds before.

As a result, Wen Xishu experienced time reversal twice.

This left Scorpio quite speechless.

After all—

He was not a Time Ability User; using time abilities was demanding.

Luckily, Wen Xishu thereby proved that he could dodge the sneak attacks from Aquarius’s puppets underlings using his own abilities.

"Cheating? Naughty sister, you were the one who didn’t play by the rules first."

Aquarius seemed determined to compete for Wen Xishu’s favor.

She could tell that Wen Xishu may possess powerful tools capable of intimidating the star signs...

But Wen Xishu’s ability to use the tools was just there; the tools were terrifying, but Wen Xishu himself was not.

So at this moment, she was still eager to win over Wen Xishu, even if it meant facing off against Scorpio.

Scorpio also disliked people who don’t follow game rules, and his brows furrowed more deeply.

Just coldly glanced back.

The shadow siblings instantly turned into a bunch of mosaics.

Wen Xishu watched, astonished.

Such power of authority was truly fearsome.

Sagittarius can pierce through the heavens and earth with an arrow, the visual effect is very explosive.

But Scorpio’s method of turning people into data and then directly erasing them, though lacking the majesty of a galactic collapse, still instilled a chilling fear.

Aquarius threw caution to the wind, as countless paranormal stories burst with shocking energy waves, attempting to engulf this tavern.

In Jicheng, a world governed by tycoons where laws serve individuals, good and evil are easily switched, making Aquarius more like a summoner who can call upon countless little devils.

The dust startled by a skirmish among deities is intolerable to ordinary people.

Wen Xishu thought... if he were the tavern owner, it would feel as if the sky was falling at this moment.

Scorpio sensed the energy waves outside and didn’t regard these monsters seriously.

What he truly feared was the bottle in Aquarius’s hand, which, if in a Xianxia novel, would be called a life-bound magic artifact.

The more reversals of good and evil, the more "bad water" in the bottle.

Once those things are released, they’d be troublesome.

However, Scorpio was by no means a pushover, he sighed and said:

"In my game, I won’t be bullied by these lackeys?"

Action Points adjustment, defensive power adjustment, geographical advantage adjustment (incomplete), weather adjustment...

A myriad of dizzying backstage data modifications appeared in the view of Wen Xishu and Scorpio.

Soon, Aquarius’s army halted because of various value modifications.

Wen Xishu focused on the geographical advantage adjustment (incomplete).

He suddenly thought of "Sirius," there was a rune on him that brought geographical advantage—Earth Marsh Trapped Beast.

And Scorpio seized Sirius to be able to create "geographical advantage."

He connected it all together.

With game value modifications, Aquarius’s puppets finally ceased to act.

Scorpio said:

"Do you want to continue? I can also get angry."

His tone had already turned icy.

Wen Xishu thought that if they actually started fighting, he wouldn’t necessarily withstand the aftermath of their confrontation.

He had to find a way to prevent the clash, so he performed a... very peculiar action.

As if to transform, Wen Xishu tore open his shirt from his chest.

A brand then exposed itself.

This brand startled both Scorpio and Aquarius.

"I’m not the only one with a brother," Wen Xishu said.

At the same moment, Aquarius seemed to sense a surge of time energy.

It seemed Pisces was also watching from the shadows.

"Not playing anymore, it’s not fun at all, your lousy game just changes the values. Bunker People, today you’re in luck, but you’ll definitely end up in my hands."

"Don’t think Leon can frighten me; I’ve grown up, I’m not afraid of him anymore!"

Saying this, Aquarius truly left this time.

She could feel Scorpio was not easy to deal with, Wen Xishu had strong cards, and Pisces was also present, so she had no assurance of capturing Wen Xishu today.

Aquarius’s presence vanished completely, quick to come and even quicker to leave.

Scorpio snapped his fingers, the music in the tavern resumed, everything remained unchanged.

As if nothing had happened earlier.

Yet, beads of sweat appeared on Scorpio’s forehead.

"Brother, I saved your life, you must know... if she really went mad, I might be able to protect myself, but definitely couldn’t keep you safe."

Scorpio sat across from Wen Xishu, and Wen Xishu also cooperatively sat down.

"Today is truly a day of stars gathering. Thank you, if Aquarius was looking for me to kill me... Then what about you?"

Scorpio smiled:

"Of course, I came to protect you and prevent you from being swindled."

"Brother, never trust those who manipulate time. You’ve accepted her benefits, I can’t interfere, but never think... she’s an ally, someone trustworthy."

"Everything she does for An Rongzai is to help An Rongzai gain a sequence. With this sequence, he can achieve the Demon King’s accomplishments."

"In her eyes, the people of Jicheng are mere consumables."

"Regardless of how much evil I’ve committed in this life, as long as I’m her enemy, it’s considered redemption from sin."

Scorpio laughed brightly. The fatigue on his face had completely disappeared.

In fact, Wen Xishu had been trying to distinguish whether Scorpio or Pisces was more trustworthy.

So far, it was indeed hard to discern.

Wen Xishu thought for a moment and said:

"If it weren’t for you earlier... even if I used all my methods, I probably couldn’t have driven Aquarius away. Thank you."

Scorpio waved his hand with a smile:

"That’s the gameplay of the Desire Tower, isn’t it? The Desire Tower forbids fighting and killing to make you play a game of social affairs."

"Brother, you’ve accumulated quite the network, haven’t you? You have mine, Pisces’s, and—Leo’s."

"You’re practically a socialite; you’ve mastered the Deceit Tower, and haven’t come to the Desire Tower in vain either."

There was a hint of irony in Scorpio’s words.

Wen Xishu didn’t mind Scorpio’s irony; in fact, he was truly safe now.

This journey to the Desire Tower, thrilling yet ending safely.

"One after another, is it finally over? I shouldn’t encounter any other stars today, right?"

Scorpio said:

"That’s a concern for the next journey. Brother, in the future, I might have to fight Leon, and you now bear his imprint... it saddens me."

"Will you help me?"
